The Colgate University Orchestra, conducted by Marietta Cheng, will perform Brahms’ Third Symphony on Sunday, Nov. 13 at 3:30 p.m. in Memorial Chapel.

Also on the program will be Vaughan Williams’ Overture to the Wasps.

The spotlight will be on the Saint-Saens’ Third Violin Concerto with Kristin Lee as soloist. Lee performs regularly at Lincoln Center as a member of Chamber Music Society Two. She studied with Itzhak Perlman at Julliard, receiving her Master’s Degree in 2010 and serving as Perlman’s assistant. Lee has appeared on PBS’s “Live from Lincoln Center” the Kennedy Center Honors and was featured in a PBS documentary which chronicled a historic, cross-cultural exchange between the Perlman Music Program and Shanghai Conservatory.

Born in Seoul, Lee began studying the violin at age five and within just one year won First Prize at the prestigious Korea Times Violin Competition.

The concert is free and open to the public.
